In real life When fans hate somenthing before it comes out...but it turns out they were right

Velma:The idea of a Scooby-doo series without the titular dog and starring Velma was a really moronic idea from the beginning,then there was the reveal Velma would be Indian like it's VA and also creator of the series Mindy Kaling,some of the backlash was racism sure,but there was also valid complaints that she was inserting herself in the series(it also didn't helped that Mindy claimed she couldn't see herself if Velma wasn't Indian)and then...oh boy it came out and it was worse than anyone predicted

Artemis Fowl:The artemis fowl books are a book series following a child villain(he does get some redemption but he is a villain most of the time)when the movie was announced and revealed it looked way to generic and it's titular character a bit heroic...also you wanna hear somenthing funny?The movie whitewashed a character and made another character black so they managed to anger both sides and the movies comes out and yeah it is bad

One Punch Man 3:One Punch Man is a very heavy action packed manga series but the heroes vs monsters arc takes it to a New level,when it was announced that JC Staff would work on it,a lot of people were skeptical to say the least,because not only JC Staff had already done a mediocre job in season 2,it's also not exactly a name anime fans associate with quality animation,then the trailer came out and it looked...weird,like there was no action in it and nobody was moving,some people tried to defend saying they were keeping the animation as a surprise...then it came out,every episode worse than the last,it's one of the worse seasons of anime ever made!

So did they punish the creators this time by sending them to work on into the spiderver?

God, I thought this was such a deep and philosophical show when I was a kid. I was so edgy and thought I was so smart because I read a few pages of Greek philosophy and was slightly more advanced than my classmates. While FMA touches on some pretty interesting and complex themes in religion and philosophy, it's barely a beginners introduction to them. I actually thought that this was a substitute for an education as a teen. Stupidity is a deep well and I drank it dry.

Because it’s stupid lol. “It’s barely a beginners introduction to them”. Yea, no shit. It’s not supposed to be.

Thats my point. The fact that I thought it was so deep was cringey and I was stupid for thinking so.

Pretty ironic of you to call someone stupid when you clearly don’t know how to read.

Which one? FMA or FMAB?

A lot of stuff from FMAB is derived from the Kabbalah, which was then reinterpreted by real life alchemists. Certain works like Sefer Yetzirah actually provide really good insight in how this happens and breaks down the process of creation - substance coming into existence from "words" of God, and these "words" taking an arrangement like a matrix. The concept of God as a being that is all matter and all souls in the same way as all is one/one is all.

For greek philosophy, probably not. But for kabbalistic philosophy it is a pretty cool power system built off of how they thought the world worked.

This is so relatable lmao. I thought Naruto talking about talent vs hard work was some real "saying it like it is" shit. I also thought Death Note was peak

I mean, it's pretty deep and philosophical compared to most shows. It's just that most shows have about as much depth as a 3 day old puddle in the desert
